The gold flue cured Virginia offers a bit of citrus, grass/hay, hints of wood and earth. The strength and taste levels are mild as is the nic-hit. Won’t bite or get harsh. The tobacco is a little dry, but performs well even without hydration. I do recommend a slow puff rate. Burns cool, clean and a little fast with a very consistent, one dimensional flavor. Leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl. Requires few relights. Has a pleasant after taste. An easy going all day work and play smoke that would make a good mixer, too. Three and a half stars.
